We met at a local dive bar. Mikaela was there early, watching the Pittsburgh Steelers lose their divisional playoff game to the Jaguars. She was about to leave when a friend and fellow Steelers fan said, "Stay and watch the next game, I'll buy you a square on the betting sheet." Ryan walked in to watch his New Orleans Saints and sat down at the bar two chairs down. When an older gentlemen started telling Mikaela war stories, she started to give that cute guy two chairs down 'the look'... you know, the 'Help me! Save me!' look. Ryan just laughed until the older man left. He bought Mikaela an apology shot & the rest is history. Ryan said once, during a replay of that 'Minnesota Miracle', that it was both the worst & the best day of his life.
